Filthy Rich

This is not Masterpiece Theatre, it is cheap tawdry fun with great satire and a great cast, plenty eye candy and the writers have hit their groove.

Move ovet Tammy Faye Baker, here comes Margaret Montreax, Queen Gator of the Evangelical Swamp!

"Filthy Rich" (S01, 10eps, 1hr, Fox) was a surprisingly irreverent look at Big Religion and now you know why it was cancelled; it would've gotten two seasons at least at Netflix or Amazon. In fact, actor Aaron Lazar's character immediately recalls Joel Osteen. However, it ended at a good point. Many dramas get worse as time goes on, season after season, so I'm happy that its only season was hard-hitting and really entertaining.

This is only a review of episode 1, and subject to change as it goes on.

It starts out very weak and boring but gets interesting by the start of act 2. Act 3 is where it starts to get pretty good so I look forward to seeing more. I hadn't seen the original New Zealand one but it's nice to put more live action shows to watch on my list. The Ginger character is already one I'm excited to see more of. I like how this show has an emphasis on female representation. Even as a male, we need more of that. I look forward to watching all 10 episodes.

6.5/10 rounded up to 7 for the poll.

Episodes 2-3 are also on Hulu right now as part of a promotion between Fox, Hulu, and Blue Moon.

I watched 3 episodes and it was too boring. I don't see this show getting picked up.

Look if you take this show seriously then yeah you are not going to like it. Stop making every show so award worthy. Sometimes silly and dumb and mindless can be fun. It is over the top dramatic and Kim is pure diva. It makes fun of those crazy televangelist and the ridiculous money and wealth they make off of religion. Those who do not like it probably hate seeing that. Don't like it then don't watch it.
